Community Service Meeting

Community Service Committee Meeting - November 7th

The November meeting of the Community Service Committee was held on Monday night at the home of Carlos and Kathy Ruiz de Quevedo.  There was plentiful liquid libations and some terrific food.  Members of the Committee had an opportunity to share their projects with the 2011 Group Study Exchange Team members who were visiting for that meeting.

As we move forward with our plans for the remainder of the year, it was very interesting and great fun learning from our Australian visitors what they do in their own hometowns for Community Service and fund raising projects as well.  Even though only the Team Leader, Vicki, is a Rotarian, all of the members of the Team are deeply involved in their respective communities in Australia.

One of the coolest things about Rotary is the International aspect and the chance that it gives us to share ideas and projects and learn what's happening around the world with like-minded people.

We've got lots of things planned for the balance of the year.  Chair Deena Bell will be publishing the list of projects for everyone to sign up shortly.  But mark your calendar for Thanksgiving Day at Partnership for the Homeless.  We start making preparations for serving Thanksgiving Dinner at 10 a.m.  We're finished by 1:p.m. and in that short period of time we will have served several hundred Thanksgiving dinners.  The food for the dinners was paid for with a grant from our Civic & Charity Committee.  Now Community Service finishes the work!  Hope to see you there.
